It may get tiresome for you guys to hear me to petition coaches to give their scrubs/role-players more minutes over and over again. But I can’t help it! My end goal is to see a whole league full of nothing but marginal players putting up big games. As far as I know, there is no pro basketball league in North America dedicated to showcasing not-so-good players, so the NBA has to step in and fill the void.
With that said, I really want Steve Kerr to give JaVale McGee more minutes. A lot more minutes. The other centers on that roster, well, you know what the sitch is. It’s not a good sitch. McGee is the only real option, and should be playing 30 minutes a game. You know how many dunks he would dunk in that amount of time? It would be at least 5 dunks per contest.
Asthma can be treated. And you can play around it. If McGee isn’t in the process of dunking it, tell him it’s okay to just chill out on the court. Maybe don’t even tell him to run back on defense? Imagine that BS LaMelo Ball cherrypicking vid but replace LaMelo with McGee, replace layups with devastating whamjams. Whoa my god.
